July 5, 20197 yr Popular Post Posted some of this in Monday topic and got another done today. These are the first two eggs. The top one I call Cracked Egg . It had cracks in it so I carved it and burned the carvings. The second was burned using a coiled wire to create the pattern. No finish on any as is pic time. This one I call Independence Egg. The blank is a glue up of 4 pieces of curly maple left over from the Clewes demos. Was not sure how this would look but after dye and acrylic applied turned out better than I thought.
July 5, 20197 yr Gerald, I am simply guessing here, but I suppose you used a skew chisel to make the basic egg shape. What I am trying to figure out is how did you part them off. Did you part off one end, put it into the chuck and do the remaining end? Do you have a video? That would be awesome to see. Thanks for sharing. I really do like the artwork as well.

Thanks for sharing. I really do like the artwork as well. Steve it is done between centers. I did not use a skew but you could. I used mostly spindle gouge. When you turn this you leave a small nib on the end when parting off so that there is no flat on the end and then sand and carve the nib off.

July 25, 20196 yr Author My wife brought this to my attention. On Cracked Egg this design looks like a bird on a branch. Come on stretch your imagination.
July 26, 20196 yr What is this a Roshard Test?? The Rorschach test is a psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed using psychological interpretation, complex algorithms, or both.
July 27, 20196 yr In all honesty when I first look at it I thought the same thing. Looks like a bird on a branch to me.
July 27, 20196 yr Really nice Gerald! And I thought it was a bird from the get go a couple weeks back...
